BuddyPress.org

Never mind. I saw the problem when I was typing it. Now only leads me to the question did my co-worker install BP wrong??? Because I see an mu-plugins folder in wp-content, and all of the BP folders are in there?

You know the same thing is happening to me. I am trying to customize a theme. I know that the problem above has something to do with the problem I am having. What is happening is when an account is created you can log in, and see your blog. You can also get into the blog admin, but when you try to go to: My Account -> Profile — It says:

“You do not have any BuddyPress themes installed.

Please download the Default BuddyPress Theme and install it in /wp-content/bp-themes/”

In the BuddyPress settings the “Select theme to use for member pages:” is empty. I’ve been trying to figure out what is going on but I’m lost.

Now one thing I didn’t know if it was an issue or not was the path for the bp-themes folder is located in: /wp-content/mu-plugins/bp-themes/

The buddypress-member folder is in there. Could that be an issue? I personally did not install WP MU and Buddypress, so I wouldn’t know if it was some type of problem with installing everything.

If you are just using the default templates you will just be able to overwrite everything from RC-1 to RC-2 and then the same for 1.0 shortly after.

Using other themes from the default or your own theme will require some tweaking going from RC-1 upwards, but this is only because we are currently pre 1.0 and there are some last minute improvements.

Using the default BP Theme, latest WPMU 2.7 and BP Trunk … the FB Connect button is not showing when logged out as expected.

After activating the plugin and creating a fb application for my blog, I don’t see anywhere to enter the API Key or Application Secret. The only option in buddypress is to activate, am I missing something?

On the FB side, are there mandatory settings that need to be inputted other than Connect URL and Base Domain?

you have to put thoses lines in your wp-content/member-themes/buddypress-member/profile/profile.php to make it work like you want

you add this test :

<? global $bp;

if ( ‘is_friend’ == BP_Friends_Friendship::check_is_friend( $bp->loggedin_user->id, $bp->displayed_user->id ) ) {

?>

before thoses line

<?php if ( function_exists(‘bp_send_message_button’) ) : ?>

<?php bp_send_message_button() ?>

<?php endif; ?>

end then close the test

<? } ?>

Place this link tag in the header file of your home theme and member theme.

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/favicon.ico" />

The above is just an example. Make sure the path to your favicon is correct.

If you don’t have a favicon, here’s a site that makes a favicon out of any graphic file you provide: http://www.html-kit.com/favicon/

You can upload a new favicon.ico to replace the one that comes with the theme OR you can edit the header.php file to point to a new favicon.

Good suggestions, and I think for the time being we’re all waiting for the 1.0 release before we start documenting code. Until then, any of it is subject to change at any point.

Once 1.0 is out there is a benchmark to start documenting from, in my opinion.

I can give you a hint though, check out the /css directories in each plugin, check out the member-theme, the buddypress-home theme, and you can also create a file called “site-wide.css” and put it in your /css directory for your home theme, and put all of your site-wide CSS changes in there.

Please disregard my comment posted in error

Best way to do this would be to copy the bits of the member-theme that make the userbar and optionbar, and then add them to a new theme that you create.

This is possible to do with just some hybridizing of the two themes and mating the pieces of them that you want together.

Hi Sebastian, that really sounds great!

We have similar specs, here are my responses:

[blockquote]I will be creating a new Blog BP plugin that will be pulling all the posts, categories and comments straight from the user’s blog. [/blockquote] Doesn’t “all activity” already do that? Also, you mean straight from the users blogs (plural), right? That means, users’ blogs will show in your “home blog” right?

[blockquote]I will only be allowing one blog per user.[/blockquote] Me too, is that an existing setting?

[blockquote]Also I setup my BP installation not to use subdomains for blogs but folders.[/blockquote]Me too, seems cleaner and more appropriate for a “user,” also I couldn’t get it to install with the other method!

[blockquote]I will be looking to hook into BP’s url dispatcher to use subdomains for the public profiles and will be disallowing direct access to the actual users WP blogs (maybe using .htaccess rules) so that way blogs will look and feel like they belong to the profile just like the wire, friends and eventually galleries and not a separate/independent entity the way it currently works.[/blockquote]

I don’t know what you mean by disallowing access to the actual users WP blogs. Oh, now I get it…they don’t even “post” or “see” their actual blogs.

…Hmm…

Well, here’s something that may be a bit of a shortcut that you could try, it’s just that I don’t know how to do one step.

Just make the user blogs have the theme “buddy press home.” It looks like it works just fine. The only thing is that the user is then asked to configure widgets. If you could figure out how to allow only the main admin to configure the user blog template (including widgets), and if you could figure out how to activate and deactivate and “move around” those widgets on all user blogs simultaneously (all user blogs use one theme, and the settings are all set in one place by the global admin), then, it seems to me like we would be all set.

What do you think?

Best,

This topic has been posted before. It’s not for distribution.

I noticed that there are so many inquiries about member-themes that their member themes are not loading or doesn’t show up.

To solve this you have to upload the default member theme then under Site Admin-BuddyPress in ‘Select theme to use for member pages:’ chose FaceBuddy.

After that you can now delete the default buddypress theme.

That would hopefully solve your problems.

thanks very much for your answers Sgrunt..

I tried it with default theme and same problem..sorry it s my bad..

I would like to do this too.

What I did is make the buddypress home theme available to memberblogs. The only “catch” is that the member blog appears without any widgets set.

I am curious, if there is a way to “preset” the widgets on a userblog theme to a standard layout.

If member blogs could look like that, then I can launch my community.

Best,

Has been updated to the ‘trunk 1281’ version of ‘FaceBuddy theme’ …

I am as confused as Evilpepperman. First, I installed it in wp-content/mu-plugins. The result is that it works in the Admin area, I can enter API etc. But it doesn’t appear on the home theme. Second, I moved everything to wp-content/plugins but no nothing happens at all?? Please help! Thanks!

thanks for great theme Sgrunt..it s really nice..

there is a small problem

got to your profile page (/members/admin) and My Activity on the right side..

links are not working..example

You wrote a new blog post: blahblahblah

if you click “You” or “blahblahblah” you get “http://you.com/members/admin/&#8221;

is this a bug?

2 Question

do you plan to make a bbpress facebuddy theme? I think many peoples waiting for this..

thanks for your time

/**

* bp_get_options_avatar()

* TEMPLATE TAG

*

* Gets the avatar for the current sub nav (eg friends avatar or group avatar).

* Does not check if there is one – so always use if ( bp_has_options_avatar() )

*

* @package BuddyPress Core

* @global $bp The global BuddyPress settings variable created in bp_core_setup_globals()

*/

What you want is:

<?= bp_core_get_avatar( $user->user_id, 2, 75, 75 ) ?>

The theme and the profile back end don’t support this right now but there is a mod you can try.

Change line 11 which reads:

<?php if ( bp_field_has_data()) : ?>

To read:

<?php if ( bp_field_has_data() && bp_field_has_public_data()) : ?>

In /bp-themes/buddypress-member/profile/profile-loop.php

Then you will manually have to use phpmyadmin and go into the table bp_xprofile_fields and change all the profile field records that are parent fields and have \’0\’ in the column \’is_public\’ to \’1\’ for the fields you want to show on the profile and \’0\’ for the fields you don\’t want to show.

Parent fields are the ones that have a \’0\’ in the \’parent_id\’ column.
